Clothes drier



J. A. BRIED CLOTHES DRIER March 10, 1925- Filed Aug} 5. 1922 INVENTOR.

the original insertion of the lines or for their removal.

Fig. 2 shows the fastener drawn in perspective full size with both ends of the rope knotted and inserted in the device, and its operation will be readily understood from the drawing, the knots 18 being simply pushed through the hole 19 and drawn under the slot 20 until the line is seated in the slightly enlarged end of the slot 21.

Fig. 8 shows, also in perspective, a -modification of the fastener, being a hollow ball shaped body 17 with separate holes and slots for the insertion of the previously knotted rope ends, all parts functioning as already described being similarly numbered.

It will be readily seen that many modifications may be made in the frame construction, rope locating, rope fastening, bracket design and method of attaching, etc, without departing from the spirit of this invention, and any such apparent modifications are sought to be covered in my appended claims.

I claim:

1. In a wash drier, a frame comprising a strut with transverse arm at one end, and a; longer transverse arm at the other end, a series of spaced pins along the shorter arm, and a similar series of spaced eyelets along the longer arm spaced further apart than the pins, the longer arm being bent to make the distance between the successive pins on one arm and the successive eyelets on the other arm substantially equal.

2. A wash drier embracing a frame adapted to be secured to a building and to carry a plurality of wash lines, said frame including a strut adapted to project from the building with a cross arm at the end of the strut, rope spacing devices on the cross arm and a series of clothes lines passing around said cross arm located thereon by said spacing devices. j

3. In a wash drier, a frame adapted to be secured at one end to a building and extending away from the building, said frame including a transverse member at the end of the frame remote from the building, a series of clothesline loops extending to and around said member and free to travel thereover like a pulley, and spacing means on said member for positioning said loops in spaced relation.

4. In a wash drier, a frame having two spaced transverse arms, rope spacing means on said arms, and a series of rope loops passing over and around both arms spaced by said means and being movable over the arms like pulley lines.

5. In awash drier adapted to be secured to and to project from a building, a frame comprising a transverse arm near the building and a longer transverse arm remote from the building, a series of rope loops passing from the shorter to the longer arm around both arms and divergingly spaced away from the building.

6. In a wash drier, a frame comprising a strut with a transverse arm at one end and a longer transverse arm at the other end, the longer arm being curved to form a plurality of similar radii to spaced points along both arms.

7. In a wash drier, a frame comprising a strut with a transverse arm at one end and a longer transverse arm at the other end, the longer arm being curved to form a plurality of similar radii to spaced points along both arms, and means at such points for positioning rope loops extending bet-ween said arms.

8. In a wash drier, a line supporting frame embracing two arms and a strut holding them in spaced relation, a plurality of clotheslines passing around both arms, means on said arms for spacing the lines, said lines being each a separate rope joined by means at its ends to form a loop, the loop being movable over the arms like a pulley line and the joining means adapted to form a stop at the arms to limit the travel of the rope over the arms.

9. In a wash drier, a frame embracing a central strut and a transverse arm at each end thereof, a pair of supporting devices adapted for securing said frame to a build ing and adapted to pivotally support the frame by engaging one of said arms at spaced points, means for sustaining said frame in substantially horizontal extension from the building, and means associated with the supported arm for looking it against removal from the supporting de vices while the. frame is horizontally extended, and permitting freedom of removal when the frame is not in horizontal extension.

10. In a wash drier, a frame embracing a central strut and a transverse arm at each end thereof, a pair of supporting brackets for securing said frame to a building and adapted to pivotally support said frame by engaging one of said arms at spaced points, the latter arm being insertible and removable from the brackets by endwise movement of the arm only, and means associated with the arm for preventing such endwise movement except at a predetermined point in the pivotal movement of the arm in the brackets.
